20 YEARS - TIRED LIKE DIRT - DEVILDUCK

DevilDuck Records is turning 20 years in 2024 and some might say this has to be celebrated in whatever way......which might be true.

Even we did a label compilation a while ago for our 15th anniversary what makes more sense than coming up with another one as it’s the artists who defines the label and not the other way around, right?

When sitting down and thinking about a possible tracklisting semi-creative people like me do have a bunch of ideas e.g. one artist is doing a cover of another or just putting rare tracks & demos on it and things like that. But I thought why shouldn’t it just be our current artists with some of their songs I like the most.

And that’s what „20 Years - Tired Like Dirt“ is delivering now with 13 artists and bands incl. only one cover and still a lot of newish stuff as we signed 6 (!) of these by last year.

We still do love Canadian artists (Marissa Burwell, Gunner & Smith, The Dead South) and some German ones are always obvious (Scotch & Water, Palila, Would, Wisent, Merlin Hydes, Kommando Kant) but after quiet some time we have started to work with a British band (Conscious Pilot) and some US Americans (The Macks, The Fourth Wall, Timesbold) again.

The running order came up a bit spontaneous which I always like because in the end it all makes sense...so kind of by accident all three bands & artists from Canada are from Saskatchewan and in a row here. Some new stuff is at the beginning of the album and for obvious reasons Timesbold had to close it.

‚The Long Run‘ from Palila is a new recorded track and something like the single of the compilation as well as ‚Edge Of The Water‘ by Gunner & Smith so both can not be found anywhere else and of course „20 Years - Tired Like Dirt“ will be released on vinyl as well - who can live without?
